Bach Concerto for 4 Pianos (Konzert für 4 Klaviere) BWV 1065 - Rehearsal

[@orinobrien6955]

Kubelik accompanied his father violinist Jan Kubelik when they toured during the 1930's: he was also a composer. When he conducted the NY Philharmonic as a guest during the 1970's and '80's, we played one of his symphonies. He was greatly admired by the Orchestra: one rehearsal he conducted of Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony -- he conducted straight through without stopping, right to the last bar, and when he finished, the orchestra stood up and applauded him (there was no one in audience, it was just a rehearsal during a regular week -- but no one ever forgot this rehearsal.)

...and this is why I love classical music.

[@nicolapascoli4580]

How beatiful to see these great conductors working together in this Vivaldi transcripted by Bach!!! Great!❤

[@duwir5959]

Kubelik was a great conductor, a great musican and a great person.

This is a unique and fascinating document.

[@garryhumphreys3054]

Kempe was an opera repetiteur in his younger days and throughout his life played chamber music in public, often with players from whichever orchestra he was conductor of (e.g., Fritz Kiskalt in Munich, Christopher van Kampen in London - and his wife Cordula Oettinger, an excellent professional violinist). Although he began as a professional oboist in Germany, he also played the piano professionally. But, I agree, Sawallisch was the outstanding (and more experienced) pianist and a wonderful accompanist.

[@TiticatFollies]

These conductors are excellent pianists! Better than many professional pianists! I wish I could hear the performance.

[@garryhumphreys3054]

Thank you for posting this as a single unbroken sequence! It has formerly been on KZbin in four (overlapping) parts. Pity there are no English subtitles - or a recording of the public performance for which they are rehearsing! Nevertheless, this is a unique and fascinating document. In the 1970s at the Royal Festival Hall I attended a performance of the 3-Klavier concerto with Kempe, Rieger, Bernhard Klee and the RPO.

Was mich wundert das ich bis jetzt keinen Deutschen / Bayrischen Beitrag gelesen ich habe das Konzert von Bach vor ca 40 jahren das erstemal im Br gehört und war begeistert .Leider gab es damals keine Möglichkeit konzerte herunterzu laden man konnte nur mit dem Casettenrekorder warten bis ein Konzert im Radio gesendet wurde .Aber allen Klassikfans war klar dass München mit Wien der Nabel der Welt war .sämtliche grossen Sänger waren da und die Dirigentenriege war legendär . Für Sawallisch wurde extra eine verordnung / Lex Sawallisch geändert .und Kubelik war vom Dirigat Qualitätsmässig welt spitze. Er war halt kein Schauspieler wie Karajan .also wenn ihr Interpretationen von Haydn Smetana Dworak sucht dann erlebt ihr Überaschungen. Ein tipp Seht euch mal die Solisten die unter diesen Dirigenten gesungen haben ihr werdet staunen .Ich wünsche euch wundervolle Stunden mit musik - Sigurd

[@adpynacker1]

I once heard a really memorable broadcast of Sawallisch conducting and playing the piano part of Beethoven's Choral Fantasy. He was a big pianist, although here his playing is a bit more expressive than the other three...

[@おだのぶなが-q3p]

いまは故人となった超一流の指揮者たちが、ひたむきにバッハのこの曲を創り上げていく だんだんと、響きが出来上がっていく様が素晴らしい そして美しいこの名曲 ヴィヴァルディにも感謝 何度も見たくなる動画 アップありがとうございます

The video reproduces the proof of the recording of the concert BWV 1065, made on 11/08/1972

[@桃-v8v]

何ともほほえましい光景。Kempeは、四人の中で一番若いSawallischに気配りを示しつつ、寡黙ながらユーモアを放って、Kubelikを補佐している。Kempeの人柄が垣間見えて素晴らしい。

[@davidprowse262]

This piece of music is utterly sublime. What would Bach have made of performances of this quality?

[@mariapiazza-od8ib]

Independent to the EXCEPTIONALITY of the Interpreters, an educated Listener feels this cricket-jumping is NOT a Music intended for keyboard ; Bach transcribed it for fun-playing in a Cafee-Saloon. This is Concert 580 FOUR VIOLINS from Vivaldi, go listen the Real Masterpiece 😮😮😮

Sawallisch ⭕️⭕️⭕️🎉😊

[@NOSEhow2LIV]

Wonderful! I saw the two RK's many times as conductors, it's so funny seeing them as pianists. WS was well-known as a fine pianist and accompanist. Kempe seems to enjoy it most, WS is the perfectionist, Rieger seems the most anxious, (maybe the least able pianist?). Kubelik holds it together with his legendary gentle authority. Most enjoyable, thank you!

[@TheMaestromaestro]

Actually, Rieger was the most able of the four: a concert pianist from the beginning of his career, playing and conducting all the major concerti from the keyboard.

oh Gott der große Dresdner Kempe welch ein bescheidener Star aber welch eine Musik hat der gezaubert schauen Sie mal schon bei frühen Aufnahmen des Hessischen Rundfunks hier Brahms op.77 mit Ferras und eine herrliche 8.Dvorak auch aus Frankfurt beide von 1953,god bless his soul!Kempe war so ein Star und guckt noch in die Partitur wie ein Pennäller,great!!!

[@Infidelio]

To me, Kempe is the most musical of conductors. I knew he was an oboist, but I had no idea he played piano as well.

[@Piflaser]

Three amateurs at the pianos and Wolfgang Sawallisch as a professional pianist ... nice! He played often the sunday matinees in Munic with very hard works, Brahms Quintett, Beethoven Violin Sonatas and so on.

[@TheMaestromaestro]

Wrong: Rieger was a concert pianist from the beginning of his career. The others were not. Sawallisch never played the major concerti.

@@TheMaestromaestro And Rieger was a Nazi.... unfortunately.

[@yossicordova2374]

[@maxgutbrod3097]

If it were possible to measure the efficiency of rehearsing, this would be a good candidate - everybody and in particular the soloists know how to relate to the others so as to achieve the best result.

Understanding of great spirits, brining the composers to living dialogue. How wonderful would it have been to see performance, as the feeling in that moment must have been different. For the adagio movement, this recording is the pinnacle for me: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnuXanpoYqibntUsi=qqWFHsGcScTCJvrV (I prefer the slower tempo 🫢)

[@ManuelCerquera-bh7sb]

Kempe parece que esta sorprendido pero que es broma

[@johannesortmann2789]

Rudolf Kempe ist wirklich sympathisch. Der Rest der Bande ist es nicht so sehr. Sawallisch sagt so Dinge wie : da hat der Koeckert - gemeint ist Rudolf Koeckert, Konzertmeister des BRSO - auch mal was “ Richtiges angemerkt“ ( der „Koeckert“ ist mindestens so ein Profi wie du, „Sawallisch“!!). Ausser Kempe guckt auch keiner der Solisten ins Orchester, sondern nur in die Noten. Sawallisch meint aber, Kempe habe nicht ordentlich geübt. Stimmt wahrscheinlich. Fritz Rieger wirkt sehr beflissen und will dem Kubelik gefallen, Kempe spiegelt das grossartig ironisch in seinem Verhalten gegenüber Sawallisch - Rieger steht auf und bespricht etwas mit Kubelik - Kempe steht auf und bespricht etwas mit Sawallisch usw. . Kurzum: dieses Video bestätigt all das, was man sich schon gedacht hatte.

[@mariapiazza-od8ib]
